I've come here as a firm believer in the private sector and small business America. We will stand for them day in and day out. Mr. Chairman, this pile of material, this pile of regulations is not good for our job creators. We can do better. We must do better for our children and grandchildren. With that, I ask support for H.R. 4078 and the corresponding long- term fix, the REINS Act, which will go a long way to taking care of this problem in perpetuity.”
